Living A Gluten-Free Life!
The term Gluten-Free is tossed around very freely these days. It is estimated that roughly 1 in 133 people have Celiac Disease and many more are gluten sensitive or simply wheat intolerant. Some people live many years not knowing that grain sensitivities are at the root of many of their health issues, including allergies, digestive issues, arthritis and even type 2 diabetes. Americans have such a grain heavy diet that many researchers and health experts are realizing that this is exactly what's at the root of many diseases and their epic proportions. Wheat is constantly being touted as a health food but it is actually far from it. If you read the ingredients on a package of whole wheat bread, you may be surprised at what you would find. Usually there are many different forms of sugar ranging from honey to high fructose corn syrup and a host of other ingredients that make it far from being a health food. Studies are showing over and over again, that the less processed grains you include in your diet, the healthier you are. The key word is 'processed'. It can get tricky and confusing when all along you thought you were being so healthy by giving your family whole wheat bread, and then you start hearing wheat isn't that great for you. There is a lot to read on this subject and a great article is one below.
